Which categories of personal data are processed by terre des hommes depends largely on the occasion and the framework in which a contact or a contractual relationship arises or exists. A distinction must be made, for example, between reporting actions and general contact inquiries.

  • Information (name and location of the action, etc.) and photos of actions planned by the applicant.

If service providers in the third country are used for which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission in accordance with Art. 45 (III) GDPR, they are obliged to comply with the level of data protection in Europe by taking appropriate measures (e.g. agreement on the EU standard contract clauses) in addition to written instructions.

Data collection on our website

1. Collection of general data and information

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

 

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. So, when using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the contents of our Internet pages correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our Internet pages, (3) ensure the permanent operability of our information technology systems and the technology of our Internet pages, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. We therefore evaluate this anonymously collected data and information for statistical purposes and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security, in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data we process.

According to our IT security concept, the log file data is stored for a period of 60 days in order to detect and analyze any attacks against our website. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 (1) p.1 (f) GDPR.

2. Integration of Google Maps on the website

This website uses the Google Maps map service via an API in the interest of easy findability of the action locations we indicate on the website on the basis of the consent you have given us in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To use the functions of Google Maps it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there. It cannot be excluded that Google may also transfer your IP address to other Google servers in the USA. For this reason, we would like to point out in the context of the consent that, in the view of the European Court of Justice, the USA has an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for monitoring purposes without any possibility of legal recourse.
